The mansion was
originally constructed as a summer home
for the powerful and very wealthy, F.
Lewis Clark and his beautiful wife
Winifred. The mansion was completed in
1910 and was the most expensive home in
Idaho.

In 1914 Lewis
mysteriously disappeared and was never
heard from again.

Winifred struggled for
years to preserve the fortune, however
by 1922 she was broke and the bank took
possession of all her holdings including
the mansion, complete with fine
furnishings from Europe, crystal
chandeliers from Czechoslovakia, hand
painted Zuber murals from France,
Italian Marble, rugs from the Orient,
slate roof from England, Mahogany
yachts, even a private Zoo. The 1400
acre compound was destined for
destruction.

A series of occupants,
including church groups, a boys home,
the U.S. Navy, a resort, restaurant and
finally vandals and thieves pillaged the
once opulent villa. In 1988 the house was
scheduled to be used as a burn exercise
for the County Fire Department.

In November 1989, Monty
Danner and Rod Palmer purchased the home
and renovated the 15,000 sq. ft. mansion
to its original glory.

Today the home is being
operated as an elegant Country Inn.

Rooms are available for
overnight guests. There are facilities
for corporate retreats, business
meetings, special event parties, dinner
by reservation and intimate wedding
ceremonies.

Patsy Clark's Mansion

Kirtland Cutter, the
renowned 19th
century architect,
was told to spare no
expense in designing
the home of mining
magnate Patrick
“Patsy” Clark in
1898. Pictures and
words cannot begin
to reveal the minute
detail and
architectural
craftsmanship given
this beautifully
restored mansion.
Purchased in 2002,
the law firm of
Eymann Allison
Hunter Jones P.S.
"rescued" the
mansion from further
deterioration,
helping to preserve
this historic
Spokane landmark.

This turn of the
century mansion will
once again host the
elegant parties,
lavish weddings, and
celebratory
festivities for
which it was
envisioned. The
individual character
and charm of the
rooms lend itself to
parties and
gatherings of many
sizes and reasons.
Patsy Clark’s is now
available for
private catered
events including
receptions, small
luncheons, dinner
parties, and
weddings (both
indoor and outdoor).

E. J. Roberts Mansion
1889website:
www.ejrobertsmansion.com/E.
J. Roberts’ Mansion was built in 1889 in the Queen Ann style. E.J.
and his wife Mary Tracy had five sons and a daughter. The 1900
census lists the Roberts family as having four staff members living
on the property. The second floor of the carriage house provided
facilities for the gardener. The remainder of the staff resided in
the spacious third floor maid’s quarters. The home remained in the
family until the death of their only daughter in 1959. The mansion
subsequently became a rooming house, a group home, and apartments.
It has been undergoing a rigorous restoration process for the last
23 years and recently opened to the public as a Bed and Breakfast
and Event Facility

Designed and
built in 1888 by famed architect Kirtland Cutter
for James Glover, The Glover Mansion is a
beautiful example of late 19th-century design.
The interior of the building features woodwork
from 10 different areas of the world and an
array of stunning lead and stained glass windows
in original condition. Now serving as an Event
Facility, it boasts Spokane's largest historical
mansion interior with the total square footage
of the mansion exceeding 12,000 square feet. The
space can be used for multiple events or one as
large as 275 guests. Inside there are private
suites for small intimate gatherings and a Grand
hall with 25-foot ceilings surrounded by a
mezzanine with private balcony. Outside is an
intimate garden with a covered patio area
perfect for wedding ceremonies or tented events.

The
Campbell House was designed by Kirtland
Cutter and Karl Malmgren and was built in 1898
for Amasa B. Cambell, his wife Grace, and their
daughter Helen. Campbell made a fortune in
mining exploration and operations in the Coeur
d'Alene mining region northeast of Spokane. He
partnered with John Finch, his neighbor second
house west. Helen Campbell gave the Cambell
House to the Eastern Washington State Historical
Society and the Cheney Cowles Museum in the
1920s. The house was later restored to serve as
a historic home that operates in conjunction
with the
Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture. It is
open for public tours and visitation.

Built in
1924 by Royal Newton Riblet, the
three-story Florentine house is
surrounded by an arched gatekeeper's
house, sunken rose garden, open-air
pagoda, terraced flower and herb
gardens, and a life-sized checkerboard.
Riblet's brother, Byron, a chairlift
manufacturer, inspired Riblet to install
a passenger tram from his estate to the
river valley 450 feet below.

Riblet was
an inventor and developed patented
devices such as a pattern sprinkler
system, a mechanical parking garage, and
the square wheel tractor displayed at
the Cliff House.

Arbor Crest
Wine Cellars purchased the National
Historic Landmark in 1985. Today
visitors enjoy the tasting room and
share the beauty and whimsy of Riblet's
home.
